CAVS HOLD OFF A SECOND HALF CHARGE FROM THE DRAGONS

NORTH CANTON, OH - The Walsh University Cavaliers edged out the Tiffin University Dragons 57-55 in a nail-biting Great Midwest Athletic Conference clash at Alumni Arena on Thursday, February 27th. This victory improved Walsh's record to 10-15 overall and 6-13 in conference play, while Tiffin fell to 7-20 overall and 5-14 in the G-MAC.

The Cavaliers dominated the first half, taking a commanding 34-17 lead into halftime. However, Tiffin mounted a fierce comeback in the second half, outscoring Walsh 38-23, but fell just short of completing the upset.

Kobe Mitchell led the charge for Walsh with 19 points, including an impressive 5-of-12 from three-point range. Zack Oddo contributed a double-double with 14 points and 8 rebounds. Matthew Biddell added 11 points and 2 steals in 36 minutes of action.

The Cavaliers' defense proved crucial, as they held Tiffin to just 44.9% shooting from the field and a mere 23.5% from beyond the arc. Walsh also won the rebounding battle, securing 32 boards to Tiffin's 27.

For Tiffin, Dekyre Fuller led the team with 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting. KJ Pruitt added 11 points, including 2-of-4 from three-point range.

Despite Tiffin's strong second-half surge, Walsh managed to hold on for the win. The Cavaliers' first-half dominance and ability to hit clutch free throws down the stretch proved to be the difference in this closely contested matchup.

Next up, the Cavaliers will close out their regular season at home against Ashaland University on Saturday, March 1st at 3:00 P.M. in another Great Midwest Athletic Conference showdown.
